Scare tactics worked when Lee Atwater ran the Republican party in the 1980's. Today the voting public is more informed to the instant, hourly news cycle.

Back in Atwater's day there were no fact checkers so the liars could get a way with spreading untruths.

Some American's who accuse other Americans of being communists are no better than those who would dig up Joe McCarthy from grave for all to see his rotted corps.

Like in 1953, the scare tactics of this right wing lunatic almost brought this county to it's knees with it's 'Duck and Cover" fear tactics. I know many of you hid under your desks as the siren sounded in school.

Some people would like to forget that our current President was once a university professor, a State Senator, a US. Senator and a very successful author. Once he won the Noble prize, His books sold tens of millions of copies all over the world making him a very wealthy man.

It is sad to see that the hate for this man runs so deep that formerly logical thinking people loose any common sense they were born with.

It's obvious that the author of the above does not follow "the main stream media".... You know it's called main stream for a reason. The thoughts above, and from many here, are tilted lies based on a loosing idea of fear.

It's sad to see in this day and age, people who are so consumed in hate, spew lies like they were the truth. I always try to check my facts before blogging anything.

Someones son or daughter may be reading this article.

Don't we as adults have a responsibility to teach those children the truth? And if not the truth, teach them how to seek the truth out from hated lies of immature racist adults.
